That will almost certainly leave you open to a lawsuit, since they can provide definitive proof that you're using their product. One thing you definitely would never want to do is use a premium, unlicensed font on a web project. For example, there is a font called Renner* which is pretty much a recreation of Futura, and it's completely free. Made up of five weights and two styles, Mission Gothic is one of the most expansive type families available from Lost Type Co-op. So if someone wanted to print out every character in a font face, and then go through and recreate it under a different name, they are free to distribute it however they please. Mission Gothic is a relic a ghost from an era where letters were hand-painted on wood and glass. If you're a big time design agency, and your work is viewed by millions though, then you probably should consider licensing it.Īnother thing I remember hearing is that Typefaces (as in the look of the font) are not protected under US copyright laws. It might be worth doing a bit of research, but I think MOST people would be safe using these fonts in their work. However, if you were to outline the font before sending it, you've effectively converted it into something that is considered fair use. So if you purchased a font that had a non transferable license, you would be violating the license by sending the font to the print house to have them print it. From what I remember the last time I researched it, the law mainly covers the distribution of the font itself. It's sort of weird from a legal standpoint.
